BosToN, December 29.-Among the
prominent gentlemen who attended
the banquet of the Boston Merchants
Association this afternoon were Sena-
tors Hoar and Dawes, Congressman
McKenna Of California, Rogers Of Ar
kansas, Hill of Illinois and Brecken-
ridge of Kentucky, and large dele
CATION from the different Provinces
of the Dominion. The corridors
and parlors of the Vendome Ho-
tel were tastefully decorated with
tropical foliage, flags and banners.
AT $3.50 o'clobk the doors of the spa
cious dining-hall were thrown open
and the merchants and guests to the
number OF $50 filed in to partake of
the luxuries which the Boston mar
ket provides.
The post-prandial exercises were
opened by Hon. Jonathan A.
Lane, the President OF the
club, who extended welcome
to the visitors and in few appropri-
ate words announced that the COM
mercial relations between the Prov.
inces and this country were at present
of such an important nature as to de-
mand the attention of merchants,
and, consequently, the business men
OF Boston had been invited, as well as
the eminent and distinguished gentle
men from the Provinces and halls of
Congress, to participate in the discus
sion of this question. Governor
Ames welcomed the visitors to the
Bay State. Erastus Winans, of New
York, spoke in favor OF Commercial
union, and said that if the United
States would proffer it Canada would
accept it. Annexation was not de-
sired by Canada, but q commercial
reciprocity was wanted. Congress-
man Robt. r. Hill, OF Illinois, spoke
in regret at the absence of the Hon.
Benjamin Butterworth, of Ohio. He
said that those who rest upon the
text treaty will not yield their rights.
This question will never be settled
upon the lines upon which we
have followed it, and to settle
it we must extend our line more liber--
ally. 1t is the opinion of a large par
of the public men that the reciprocity
is full and complete on the
Commercial Union. If you choose.
to 60 further it will be
the solution of this problem.
Hon. John Mcdonald, a merchant of
Toronto, expressed the opinion that
it is the duty of nations to advance
reciprocity in accordance with exist
ing rights. Hon. w. Longley, At
torney General OF Nova Scotia, said
that the reciprocity interests of
Nova Scotia are great but
the people will rise above
the wretched consideration of fish.
We want free and unrestricted in
tercourse with the United States
even to the extent OF commercial
union. Congressman j. H. Rogers,
of Arkansas, said that he wanted to
see the boundless universe of friendly
nations. His duty in this question was
to secure the mostgood to the largest
number. Hon. Peter Mitchell, N, p,
an editor. of Montreal, said that Can
ada had no desire for annexation, for
the people are true to the mother
country. Mr.. Chamberlain said with
out right the other day that Canada
may 60. "Now," said the speaker,
"when Great Britain says that Can
ada may go, she will go with pleas
ure, and in hurry" Among other
speakers was Congressman Dingley.

THE HAVANA RIOTS.
Employees of the Custom House
Discharged for Alleged Frauds
A Mad Popuiacc Held In Check by Cnnnons
and Carblnes at Every street Corner.

NEW YoRK, Sept. 1.--Mail advices
from Havana dated the 9th ult give the
following version OF the recent riotous
demonstrations there: The most i'm.
portant event of the week was the unex-
pccted visit OF General Marin to the
Custom house for the purpose of as
cortaining the real cause Of the con-
siderable decrease observed in the pro-
ceeds from customs. This unusual
measure gave rise TO some excitement
in certain circles, but the Generals
action is highly commended by the busi-
ness community. Scarcely any thing is
known by the public as to the extent Of
the frauds, but all the employees Of the
Custom-house were discharged and new
appointments made. On the subsequent
day, despite the Govcrnor-Generals prohi-
bition, demonstration took place amid
cheers for Spain, General Marin, and par
tIcularly General Salamanca. A second
demonstration was to have taken place
the following evening, but was
prevented by the police and troops, pre-
viously distributed throughout the parks
and principal streets. In view Of this the
Government issued proclamation sug-
gesting to the people to abstain from fur
ther demonstrations, and yet third one
was got up for Thursday last. A crowd
assembled at the park numbering over
two thousand, but the troops charged
upon and dispersed them, wounding seven
At first these demonstrations were merely
for the purpose Of congratulating General
Marin upon his severe measures against
the authors of the frauds and irregulari.
ties in the Custom-house, but they subso-
quently assumed new aspect, for the
cheers are now exclusively for General
Salamanca This change is caused, it Is
said, by the euraged employees who lost
their positions in the Custom-house. The
rioters are demanding of the Government
General Salamanca's appointment as Gov.
ernor-General of the island.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. Ex-Governor Cor.
don received information to-day from

unearthcd by the Dodge County grand
jury. AT that camp, where fifty con-

Bryant compelled him to keep at work un-

The grand jury has indicted Bryant for
murder, but he heard of it and has escaped
into Alabama. The other conviots were
equally badly treated. Another case was
that Of negro who escaped from the
camp. The managers supposed that
he would make his escape by the rail-
road, and sent guard to intercept him.
The guard went to cut below tho sta
tion where there had been an old mill. AZ
ter some time he heard the clanlsing Of
chains, and knew that the negro was COM

shot dead. The guard said he halted tho
negro and ho ran. This statement was
controverted by the fact that every shot
was fired into the negros breast in front.

true alike to his convictions and to his
country" Mr.. Blaine is not the only
man who has not ceased to be a leader
because of an accident, "but the acci-
dent of defeat is always fatal in this
country to party leader. The history
of our politics has shown that party
leaders have seldom been successful.
